Cubs Drop Another Series, Lose Three of Four to Braves

by @ 6:39 pm. Filed under 2006 Season

Can this season please end.

On Friday, Angel Guzman dropped to 0-5 on the season.  He was knocked around and didn’t even last five innings.  Jaque Jones hit homerun number 23 and he scored twice in the 8-4 loss.

More of the same on Saturday.  Wade Miller made his first start of the season and he got bounced after three innings.  Matt Murton homered in the 7-3 loss.

At least Sunday’s game was close.  Juan Mateo threw six solid innings but the Cubs only gave him two runs of support.  Freddie Bynum hit a solo shot for one of the two Cubs runs in the 3-2 loss.

Monday was… a WIN???  Wow, the Cubs actually got the bats going and put eight runs up.  Derek Lee was the man.  He homered twice and drove in four runs.  Rich Hill put together another nice start.  He gave up two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.  He’s now 5-6 on the season.

Next up is three against the Dodgers.  Maybe the Cubs can play spoilers.  To someone.
